Dera supporter hangs himself in Ambala jail

A Dera Sacha Sauda supporter allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself at Haryana's Ambala Jail. Identified as Ravindra, the deceased was a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Sarsawa and was arrested in Panchkula on August 25 and was lodged in the Ambala jail on August 27. Widespread violence was reported from various parts of the country, including Haryana, when Dera Sacha Sauda supporters protested against the Panchkula court's verdict declaring Dera Chief as guilty in two rape cases. The Haryana Police had also arrested many Dera followers for creating ruckus post Ram Rahim's conviction.
